After the day of exploration you will re-enter the Medicine Wheel, find your marker and then you may lift the stone to reveal what it has to say to you and how that resonates.
The East Direction is about New Beginnings, Birth and Re-Birth, what seeds are you planting? What do you feel needs to grow? Not just in the garden outside, but also the garden within. Using the Drum I will facilitate a journey for you to find your Spirit Animal for the day and how that resonates with you.

The course will be held in the Sound Peace Chamber, the Celtic Roundhouse and in some outside spaces such as the Peace Garden, the Stone Circle with the four directions and elements, the Emissary Wheel sacred geometry formation, the triple spiral labyrinth and beside a mountain stream in the nearby woods. We will explore some of the deeper healing potential of nature and use sound to connect with this. We will gain an understanding of the qualities of the elements - fire, water, earth and air - and explore our relationships to them and the way they influence our lives. We will demonstrate the ways that sound can be used to heal ourselves and others and the healing power of sound in nature. Nature can provide a very supportive environment in which to release pain and disharmony through sound. We will work with this potential on an individual and group level. We will share our experience of the Damanhur projects of the Music of the Plants and Orienting Trees to help raise the global network of tree consciousness.

MASHA BENNETT · Derbyshire
GONG BATH MEDITATION
DATE : Approximately 3-4 times per month
TIME : 20:00 to 21:30
COST : £15, some concessions available
VENUE : The Sand & Sound Centre, Wren Nest Business Centre, Glossop, Derbyshire, SK13 8HB
DETAILS : Experience the profound healing and deep relaxation with the sounds of the gongs and other percussion instruments, in this sound meditation with Masha at The Sand and Sound Centre in Glossop, occasionally at other venues.
WHAT TO BRING
Bring something comfortable to lie on (sleeping bag, folded up duvet etc), a blanket and a pillow, so that you can make a cosy "nest" for yourself, which will help you feel relaxed and enjoy the beautiful healing sounds. It helps to have a bottle of water with you, as we need to be well-hydrated, especially after the session, in order to get the full benefits from the healing sounds.
BEFORE AND AFTER
It is best not to have any alcohol or any other mind-altering substances for 24 hours before and 24 hours after the gong bath. Try not to schedule any other appointments or tasks immediately after the gong bath meditation, as it is best to take it easy if you can, since the healing effects continue for some time afterwards.
FEEDBACK
Examples of feedback from previous gong bath participants:
"My first ‘gong bath’ experience - I had no idea what to expect but this was the most special, beautiful and relaxing way to see in the Spring Equinox."
"An amazing out of this world session."
"The most beautiful session to experience with Masha. Deeply relaxing and a great spiritual journey to an improved sense of health, wellbeing and connection. Such gorgeous sounds reverberated through my whole body and filled me with a sense of calm and stillness."
"For me Masha's Gong Bath Meditations have been like a rapid track into a very deep meditative state. I do not experience this depth as soon through other practices. I love it and I will be back."
COVID PRECAUTIONS
Whilst face-to-face events have now resumed, these may have to be cancelled at short notice if local guidelines change. All appropriate safety precautions are in place at the venue.
TO BOOK : Advance booking is essential. Contact Masha by email at masha@practicalhappiness.co.uk

ANITA DAS · Surrey
SHAMANIC HEALING PRACTITIONER TRAINING
DATE : This is a course comprised of two weekends. Weekend one which will take place on 20-21st May. Weekend two which will take place on 16-17th September. from Saturday 20th May 2023 to Sunday 21st May
TIME : 9am to 4pm
COST : £350 per weekend, or £700 for both
VENUE : Essence , 11, Woodmansterne St, Banstead, Surrey, SM7 3NW
DETAILS : This is a course comprised of two weekends. Weekend one which will take place on 20-21st May. Weekend two which will take place on 16-17th September.
Both weekends and 12 case studies will need to be completed for Shamanic Healing Practitioner Certification.
This course is based on a traditional Lakota Grandfather Wallace Black Elk North Native American form of healing and lineage working with power animals and helping spirits, drumming, rattling, offering prayers and sacred chants.
You will learn various healing techniques including shamanic power animal retrieval and soul retrieval on part 1 and soul energy release; intrusion removal or extraction and rattle healing on part 2.
Shamanic Soul Retrieval enables people suffering from soul loss, which is an energetic fragmentation of the self, due to trauma, back to wholeness, through returning these lost soul fragments. Soul loss can be described as a self-mechanism to shield and protect you from the pain of trauma.
Within Shamanic practice, losing soul fragments essentially means losing your life force energy which is extremely disempowering. If the soul is not restored, the body can become so imbalanced that it causes mental, emotional, or physical disease.
During a Shamanic healing, we are either removing energy within our client that does not belong to them or we are returning energy that is outside our client that belongs within them such as their lost soul parts.
In our modern-day world, we are experiencing an epidemic of soul loss on a collective level. This may well be the cause of many of the issues that are detrimentally affecting our society today. Examples of such widespread issues include crime, disease, abusive relationships, addiction and mental health issues.
We feel more like ourselves when we are complete and whole in the present. Soul retrieval is one of the most effective Shamanic Healing methods. If you lose a soul part, it’s like a whole part of you is lost, as your split off soul part is like a holographic piece of you.
When soul loss occurs, it may cause openings and gaps in your auric field. By returning your client’s soul part, you are essentially helping to restore their auric field and repair any tears that the soul loss caused.
The Shamanic Healing Practitioner Training Course is a follow on course for people who have already completed one of the College of Sound Healing Practitioner Courses or have completed other healing courses and are already practising other healing modalities.

EARTH PATH - CEREMONY AND SACRED DRUMMING BIRTH KEEPER PRACTITIONER TRAINING
DATE : Saturday 20th January 2024 - Sunday 21st January 2024
TIME : 10am to 5pm
COST : £1250
VENUE : Laughton Lodge , Laughton Lodge, Common Lane, Laughton, Lewes, BN8 6BY, Laughton, Sussex - East, BN8 6BY
DETAILS : Earth Path - Ceremony and Sacred Drumming Birthkeeper Practitioner Training, iIt is a course for all who wish to support birthing parents from a more shamanic perceprective. Midwives, doulas, healers... if you feel the calling, then it is for you!
It is a training that will guide you in supporting your birthing clients in a deeper way than other birth support trainings. We will do this through drawing upon the shamanic gifts within, and the gifts of mother earth. Through ceremony, shamanic journeys, energy, drum and internal healing work, sacred drumming for pregnancy and birth, and grounding, connecting, rituals.
I use the words 'earth path' in place of shamanic because we draw on our roots, and the world in which we live, these feelings are individual for each of us.
As a birth keeper, you are a gatekeeper, you are a space holder.
The birth keeping path opens many birth keepers / doulas / midwives / healers to more than the physical nature of birth because birth is more than the physical. You will be working with your clients in supporting them through their birth as the rite of passage it is for them.
This course aims to help you feel into that 'space holding' which doulas do in a deep way, seeing beyond the physical yet with your feet firmly on the earth.
This is a course will be spread over a year with in person five modules. It will include mentoring through earth path and spiritual practices, including sacred drumming and ceremony, so you can include this as part of your support offerings to birthing families.
This course is certified with the Complementary Medical Association and approved by The College of Sound Healing where I am a tutor for Shamanic Healing Practices and Sacred Drumming.

COST : £350 Part 1

They have a deep respect for their ancestors, all the hierarchies of spirit and understand we are just guardians of the world we live in. This course is based on a traditional Native American form of healing, that is also echoed from native cultures around the world across eons of time, working with power animals, drumming, offerings, prayer and connecting to spirit guides from the many kingdoms.
Who Can Join ?
This course is open to people who are healing practitioners of any energetic healing modality, as well as anyone that wants to do it for the experiential journey of personal healing. Whether you join this course just to benefit from the experiential journey of personal healing, or you intend to facilitate shamanic healing for your clients, over the course of the training you will receive and learn 5 new healing techniques that can help support you on the deeper journey of spiritual healing and personal development.

"I left your course with an excellent practical understanding of how to be a sound healing/voice practitioner, from advertising myself as a therapist to how an actual treatment session works. The reading and assignments you set gave me a solid grounding in the theory behind sound therapy and gave me great tools for speaking with clients (potential and actual) about how and why sound can help them. Your feedback was always helpful and thorough and you were very patient and knowledgable. The classes were an excellent mix of theory and practice" - Jenn (Canada)
"The course is demanding, but absolutely transformational both personally and as a professional singer and teacher. Alexandra is an exceptional teacher" - Brenda
"Excellent. Alexandra has been a wonderful teacher - passionate about her subject, very approachable, and a very good communicator. I love her warmth and her humour. She gives very insightful comments in relation to the written work. I have no criticisms. The course, especially Alexandra, were excellent in every respect." Lisa
